Are EFT's the new Forex?

Forex, options, and futures all hold that sexy "you can get rich overnight with very little start up capital" appeal. From an IM standpoint, I don't see how you could get that same sizzle out of ETFs, unless you're talking about trading options on ETFs.

I can't point you to any specific affiliate programs, but your best opportunities are going to be in products that teach/train trading or investment strategy.

nothing more but glamorised gambling

ETF trading won't have the same sort of 'get rich quickly' type of appeal as futures, options or forex because they do not have the leverage. They are pretty much just like trading a stock, but they mimic the price movements of an entire index.
Now, options on SPY on QQQQ can give the leverage, but as someone who used to make a living trading options online, they simply did not have enough intraday movement (volatilty) when compared to everything else.

There are now double and triple leverage ETF's they move enough every day to intince the gamblers into them. I'm sure you could get the same type of people suckered into these FOREX programs to get into trading leverage ETF's. Read an article the other week how less people are trading individual stocks since the March low in the stock market - despite the MArch low - and are going into forex and ETF trading. It is a hotter area than you realize and very few real marketers are in it. I'n not really interested myself in catering to those type of people.

I trade ETFs. Mostly oil and market indices. I remember getting an offer from something called... Tycoon University... or something along those lines.

ETF is not as mainstream as Forex as far as information products are concerned, or at least from what I'm seeing so far. So you may not find as many products about trading ETFs as you will about Forex or trading stocks for that matter.

Trading ETFs is far from "glamourized gambling" especially if you know what you're doing. Gambling is based purely on luck and sometimes on the sheer thrill of the game. When you're trading with a significant amount of money, the last thing you want to do is gamble. Anyone who likens trading to gambling isn't a real trader and hasn't experienced what it is like to profit from making intelligent trades.

I use my own 'system' and started when markets plunged in 2008. You can be successful in trading ETFs if you know what factors affect the market and if you have contingency plans -- i.e. you need to know what to do when you're profitable, and what to do if you're at a loss. Anyone planning to get into trading ETFs without a strategy or contingency plans might as well gamble away their money. It's just like any business -- if you enter a business not knowing what factors will affect your chances of becoming successful, you're pretty much gambling. You'll either be lucky and do really well, or you'll go for broke.

I actually publish an ETF blog where I share all of the trades I make. It's absolutely free to read and I do it just to share my ideas and hopefully get feedback from other ETF traders who are willing to share ideas and strategies. No, I don't sell my trading system (but maybe I'll put something together down the road). PM me if you want me to send you the link.
